two turbos one engine

[93flatbed]

update....kinda. Promised you boys some more pictures if she decided to buy something stupid.

Old lady and I at the local Halloween party.

My rough cut to start to polish my Primary.


Thoughts on what else to knock off? I think I will take the GARRETT off and leave the symbol? Thoughts.

I decided I'm going to attempt to build a manifold. That should take place over the next few weeks. Will update with some pictures once I start. Temps around here are in the lower 90's so don't expect my big As$ to sweat too much.

And yes, before anyone asks. My work keyboard did NOT appreciate all the aluminum dust in it's key's. A simple blow job cleaned it out just fine though. My RO stories had a bunch of ffffffffff's and ddddd's in them. Looked kinda funny. "Replaced the ffffffffuel fffffilter andddddddddd roadddddd testedddddd, fffffffor now power concern". Stuff like that.

Saw you were selling some stuff....


Any updates?

[93flatbed]

Is there any place I can get oil pressure besides the two ports on top of the oil filter housing?

Or, would it be acceptable to split one of those ports? If I go this route do I need to size the hose bigger?

Any and all suggestions welcomed. Weather has turned nice enough for me right now.

[AHineman]

I've seen people tee the original port and still use the second one when they run triples, so I would think you would be fine.

[93flatbed]

So it has begun.


ROUGH CUT




Awwwwwww, CHIT!!!Time for heater line reroute





63 hanging


not much room...


When I held all ofthem in my hands I thought to myself , I have all kinds of room. Now not so much.


Anyways, thats it for now. I have to build primary supports now.

SWEET!

Lookin good. Those steed speeds are nice

[Remps]

Should google (knowledge is power-steed manifolds-gated VS non-gated) apparently the gap between the block off plate and where exhaust enters from the front and rear bank can affect spool up on a large turbo. Makes it not quite a true "pulse" manifold. I wouldn't think it would affect spool up on a 63 near as much as a 72 though.

[DMan1198]

There's a link to it in the bs thread. Or you could look up hardway performance. I know a guy who had a plug built to go in the hole and properly divided it. That guy is running a gtx4202r

[93flatbed]

Yes sir. Read all about it. Not too worried at this point, but the dyno will tell the tail.

Not much progress today. Ran out of oxygen while cutting my primary mounts. Only thing I really did was gasket match the exhaust housing's on the 351's.

Also forgot my tool for pulling the pump gear. So basically I drank beer all day long.

[DMan1198]

Drinking beer all day still classified as a successful day in my book

You might consider rerouting them, one over the other. I moved the heater's hot-water valve so as to get it away from the hot-pipe.

(Older engine pic).


I've been considering the traditional exit vs the straight exit exhaust manifold that Steed offers. Not sure how it might effect the traditional over/under setup.

[93flatbed]

Thanks for the picture. Looks like a good solution.

I will have changed way too much to give you an accurate real world result of the steed. Going from a mild 12 mm pump with a 351, to a ragged edge 14 mm and all 3 of these windmills.

So You're running the 62/68 with 351s as primaries?

Fuel specs?
